Thanks, but after posting it I thought of a downside to the argument. If we do connect the right dots and stay a half step ahead of the game, we will
be identifying ourselves, making us a target for "them" through some other nefarious means.

I buy 1200 a payday. tomatobob.com has a great sale going on, .25 cents a pac. Sure there are limits and some you may not like but hey if you are
hungry anything will taste good.
I probably have around 10K misc sceeds stored in the crisper in a container. They say they should last 3 years or so like that without any
problems. I figure if nothing else in a couple years i'm going to have one heck of a garden. I'd start one now, but i'm in apartments, no place
ot plant.

"The main reasons that we should not be afraid of a reprise of the 1918 experience are that we have much more knowledge, which makes it possible
to contain outbreaks more expeditiously and effectively," said Alcabes, an associate professor of urban public health at Hunter College of the City
University of New York.

Oh yes we can all see how they're using that knowledge to contain outbreaks

What concerns Alcabes is overreaction to the swine flu and the ways to treat it. He recalled the 1976 disaster at Fort Dix, N.J. Thousands of
people claimed side effects from a swine flu vaccine administered after an outbreak that never spread. The flu vaccine in general is considered very
safe.

So i guess all those people that died from those vaccines were simply "claiming" that they had side effects

More people died from those
vaccines than from the flu

It won't won't be a 1918 repeat, but.....

If it does evolve into a more virulent strain, a much greater number of people will need to be vaccinated. Vaccine makers could add the pandemic
strain to the regular seasonal vaccine, but adding that extra strain reduces the number of doses they can make.

Just form a straight line and take your vaccines like good little robots

What you're going to do is be aware of where it is, how it is developing, and what to keep an eye out for. So that if something bad does start
happening, you're brain will already have all the pieces to make a good decision with.

I do that - plus, I'm just curious.

Frankly, I'm not a fan of the idea of avoidance of survivalable and endemic viruses. Having your immune system challenged, and your body ready is a
necessary part of long term generational continued survival.

Computational quantitative projections for H1N1 flu dynamics in the United States

This is a computer generated model showing a prediction of confimed infected in the US. There is an interactive applet on the page, but I can't seem
to get it to work for me.

We are using high performance computational techniques and multi-layer, large scale computer simulations to project the time course of the H1N1
flu epidemic in the United States. Our simulations yield projections and risk assessments of the epidemic outbreak in a worst case scenario, in which
no containment measures are taken to mitigate the spread. Therefore, the actual case numbers are expected to be smaller as mitigation strategies and
containment efforts become effective. We are constantly updating our forecast, taking into account new information on confirmed cases and more precise
information on the transmissibilty and disease-specific parameters.

Hummm. now that you mention it...interesting possibility. I was viewing it with the North American Super Highway in mind...along lines of Hx3_1963'
theory. (The freeway is not all there yet still part of a conspiracy)

From what I remember, he is a scientist(or economist?) who predicted that the US was going to fall within three years. He imagines the US to be
divided up into three areas with the upper midwest and east coast being assumed under Canadian authority, the western US going to China, and the
southern states combining with Mexico. It all relates to the North American Union "conspiracy theory". Anyone alse with the exact words and details
feel FREE to jump in and correct me please. I'm going off of memory really quickly while at work...thi is the jist though.
